This is where I was meant to live...

Family

Napa Valley! It is seriously one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. My oldest and dearest friend lives on a beautiful quiet little slice of heaven on a mountain near St. Helena. I thought I died and went to heaven when I went there in April. The weather was hot for the time of year when I was there but I was certainly not complaining!! We ate, we drank and had good ol' girl time. Eat, shop, drink, shop, etc! So here are a few shots of two of the sweetest, and most adorable little munchkins in the world and then some shots of the winery (O'Shaughnessy) where her fabulous hubby is the sales manager....very yummy you must check it out.



These are in the cute little town of St. Helena...






And I can't forget my favorite lap dog...Scout...all 85 pounds of him! This dog has an uncanny
affection for me that I have yet to figure out!?!?

A loss...

Family

One of my favorite sessions was one that I did a little over a year ago for a family. I photographed three generations of women....beautiful, fun-loving, gracious, intelligent, and caring women. I was so thrilled they chose me...what could be more important after all. This is their legacy. This is their story. The love captured, the laughs shared are memories I still hold and so it is with heavy heart that I share these now as the family has lost their mother, their grandmother. She is gone but certainly not forgotten. Hopefully these images will remind them of that great day and the great love that they shared. One of my favorite quotes is from E.E. Cummings and it says " I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart." I know that this family will always carry her in their heart. So to all of you please hug and hold those you love even closer and don't forget to say "I love you". Sometimes it is a loss that reminds just how much we have in our lives to be thankful for.

Two times the fun!!

Family

I met this wonderful family through our new relationship with St. Mary's Visitation School in Elm Grove.
We did a multi-generation photo and then did a family session and I had such a great time doing both.
This woman is one of the kindest, most generous and thoughtful people I have met in my lifetime and
silly and fun-loving as well. If you are in need of a dentist for your children or family PLEASE check
out her practice, Pickart Dental.




And we can't forget Pippi....the adorable guinea pig...

Sweet and adorable

Family

This lovely family was traveling from Arizona to see family in the area and I was blessed to be asked to photograph them
while they were here. We couldn't have had a nicer session. Such a beautiful and happy little boy this little guy was and
Mom and Dad just loved him with all their heart. A shout out to Grandma and Grandpa for helping us get some great smiles
as well.

Catching up...

Family

The craziness of summer sessions was a little overwhelming and I'm just starting to see the light of day as we head into an even busier holiday season but my hope is to get some blog posts caught up here over the next couple of weeks so everyone can see what we were up to this summer. Starting with this amazingly beautiful family who caught the PERFECT day at the lakefront for a session.

Next time you are in the studio you can catch our new amazing canvas display using the images shown here. Yes....that is a hint to drop by for a visit!!!


Besides being amazingly beautiful they are absolutely as sweet and wonderful as they come.



This little man is going to melt some hearts.......
